Physics: An Adventure of the Mind. 

From the infinitely small to the infinitely large, from elementary particles to galaxies, are you eager to understand the why and how of the natural phenomena you observe?  

Why is the sky blue? How does an airplane take off? How does radiation therapy work? What are the effects of global warming? How can nanotechnology revolutionize telecommunications? How can we produce energy without depleting the planet?

Physics answers all your questions. 

They're talking to you about physics

What I particularly like about the studies I've chosen is the large amount of practical work and exercise sessions. During class, the teachers illustrate the theory with experiments. In my Bac 1 mechanics course, we had a small rocket take off in the auditorium to get a good understanding of the take-off process. I chose UNamur because I'm from Namur and I'd heard that the physics and maths departments were small and that student-professor contact was much easier. I knew that a smaller university (in terms of students) would suit me better, and that's totally the case!

I enjoy sharing my passion for physics, but also helping each prospective student determine whether this program is truly what they are looking for.

During my training, I particularly appreciated the quality of the practical work in experimental physics. Right from the first year, these laboratory experiments enabled me to assimilate the subject matter in a friendly atmosphere. Later, as the practical work was integrated into the research units, it became increasingly specialized and just as exciting.
